This gorgeous wine offers a rich bouquet of violets, wild cherries, ripe currants, licorice, and cinnamon. In the mouth, it is ripe, structured, and fragrant, with complex flavors of dried fruit, tobacco and leather. The firm acidity balances the round and full body. This is a substantial wine with ripe and harmonious tannins leading to a long, rich finish. Recommended with roasted and grilled meats, casseroles, polenta with sausages and mushrooms. Perfect with aged cheeses. A classic, impressive Barbaresco.
